Covering Legal Fees for Civil Litigation

This is an unusual step for me to take. I am not someone who has ever had to ask friends or the public for help, but here we are. For those of you who know me well, I have been fighting this battle to hold someone accountable for years of sexual misconduct towards me. I have pursued every possible avenue I could think of until I had to go public with my story in August 2023, facing possible defamation and ruin.

After I went public, I was connected to Gillian Hnatiw (a lawyer based in Toronto) who is willing to help me pursue a civil suit. This means that once I file, the media will finally be able to report on what has happened to me. The lawsuit is not about money, it is about justice, and fighting a broken system that protects predatory behaviour.

I need to raise $2500 to cover the initial costs and another $7500 to fund the additional fees related to filing the suit. We do not have this money readily available to us so I am going to create this GoFundMe in the hopes I can raise the money.

Any money that does not go to this lawsuit will be donated to either Cant' Buy My Silence campaign or Aftermetoo.

Thank you for your consideration of this ask. I am so grateful for your consideration and potential support.
